Fox's Next Great American Band

After the next round of Fox's "Next Great American Band," there are still several truly awful contenders left:

Rocket - So what if they're an all girl band! The singer is too nasally and bland. The originals are uninspired.
The Muggs - Yes, they can jam. But judge Dicko was right: they need another singer.
Franklin Bridge - A mess. Of course they sound like much of what gets played on Power 106 these days, so they'll probably be around a bit.
Dot Dot Dot - They've got the glam rock look down, but little else.
Cliff Wagner & Old #7 - Jokey bluegrass. Enough said.

It was Elton John/Bernie Taupin night and none of the covers really made me think, 'that was interesting.'

Still, these acts brought it:

Tres Bien - A winning cross between The Hives and The Beatles.
Six Wire - Solid country music.
Clark Brothers - Another mesmerizing performance. Yes, it was revealed one of them played fiddle on an awards show with Carrie Underwood. Doesnt mean he and his brothers have a record deal yet.
Light of Doom - The teenage metalheads are fun to watch.
Denver & the Mile High Club - Swingin right along.

Anybody out there watching? Thoughts?
